Abstract:

Human tissue pathology examination is mainly used for the diagnosis and treatment of various tumors. Immunohistochemical technique has important clinical significance in the early screening of colorectal cancer. In order to accurately determine the expression level of the tumor suppressor gene p53 in colorectal cancer, this study proposes a grading diagnostic method based on transfer learning with block-wise fine-tuning strategy. The parameters of the cell nucleus segmentation model are transferred to the diagnostic framework through image preprocessing, supervised model pre-training, and block-wise fine-tuning. The generated cell nucleus segmentation mask is subjected to PCA(Principal Component Analysis) dimensionality reduction and SVM(Support Vector Machine) multivariate classification to obtain the final image diagnosis result. The proposed method is verified on colorectal cancer p53 protein IHC(Immunohistochemistry) image dataset. Dice value of the model reaches 0.887 6 and classification accuracy reaches 90.28%. The results show that the proposed method can effectively grade the immunohistochemical images of colorectal cancer, and provide reliable auxiliary information for doctors to read the film.

Key words: immunohistochemistry, colorectal cancer, pathological diagnosis, supervised learning, transfer learning, cell segmentation, fine-tuning strategy, clustering
